XssVe's sketchbook

Yeah, I'm gonna have to figure that out - there is some small possibility it might be my monitor, but I haven't figured ot a way to test it yet - I'll try to find one the drawings I scanned on page one, scan it in again, and compare them.

I use PSP, and I haven't found a utility in it that can correct this type of distortion yet. I haven't checked out GIMP in a few years, but I downloaded Inkscape yesterday, looks like fun although I already have Illustrator and an old copy of Streamline, I'll just have to find the disks - vectors are too time consuming for me.

Anyway, here's a couple of tweaks and a rescan:

It's a tough angle on the face, the nose is foreshortened quite a bit.
 
Yeah it is a tough angle. That version does make they eyebrow look better.

The option to look for would be either "pixel aspect ratio" or simply adjust the "image size" to multiply the height while leaving the width alone. Usually the height and width are linked together, you have to turn that off so you can mess with just the height. (I'm assuming the distortion is consistent for the whole image, not different in different places?)
 
Right, it's been a while since I've used it, I forgot about turning off the preserve aspect ratio option. Still, it's a pain, I'll have to guess at it.
 
scan some graph paper of a known size and see what you get. The some simple math will get you back to correct proportions.

I do dig the Voyeur concept! :D
 
all set.
Sorry about that.

and to anyone else who thinks they REALLY have until the stated deadline.:rolleyes:
 
Speaking of later, here's my "Bench":

...or what I had, I didn't get the thing centered on the page very well, it was sort of ad hoc. It's a bit distorted, been so long since I scanned anything, I forgot how to compensate for this stupid scanner.

Here's the new stuff - this mornings sketch, did a little better on the resizing ratio:

Didn't come out too bad, in spite of looking like an Old Navy ad, drawn by a... pervert.
 
Here's a few more from Friday and today
Yesterday I spent passed on oxycodone, toothache.

So, doing anything for anybody? I'm great? I suck? I should eat worms and die?

I guess I like the ideas and poses better than the execution. Often I find your women to be a bit to "neanderthal" (almost mannish) in their faces. You have a distinctive style which doe stake some liberties with anatomy and I do like that at times.

Glad to see you posting more!

Bummer about tooth... something more serious...? in need of root canal?:eek:
